Janeway:
[In the car with Babe] All right, things are starting to come together. Keep your head down before you get it blown off. Those two guys I just wasted work for a man named Christian Szell. Does that name mean anything to you?

Babe:
No.

Janeway:
He ran the experimental camp in Auchswitz, where they called him "The White Angel", the Vicea, because he has this incredible head of white hair. He's probably the wealthiest and most wanted Nazi left alive. And he's hiding out somewhere in Uruguay. In 1945, Szell let it be known around Auchswitz that he could provide escape for any Jew who was willing to pay the price. He started with gold naturally, but very quickly worked his way up to diamonds. Have you heard any of this before?

Babe:
No.

Janeway:
Szell saw the end early. And he snuck his brother into America with his diamonds. They're right here in New York in a safe deposit box. Szell's brother had the key. The only other key was kept by Szell in Uruguay. And now, if he has to come out of hiding to use it, he's gonna expose himself to incredible risk. Well, everything worked out fine until his brother got killed in a head-on collision with an oil truck.

Babe:
Why did you say "naturally" when you said he'd started with gold?

Janeway:
Because he knocked it out of the Jews' teeth before he burned them. Szell was a dentist.

Babe:
He's not coming to America, Mr. Janeway. He's here.

Janeway:
He can't be here. We'd already know of it.

Babe:
He's here. He was the dentist that almost killed me. He kept saying, "Is it safe?, is it safe?" over and over.

Janeway:
Did he have white hair? Keep your head down! Did he have white hair?

Babe:
He was bald.

Janeway:
Bald? The son of a b*tch has shaved his head! He's here! And he's panicked!
